Water proof plug-and-socket devices

[Barton]

Hello,

For an AUV I'm looking for plug-and-socet devices that are waterproof.
I suppose there are better (more water resistant) plugs available than
the spray water proof versions I found on Google:
http://www.merten.de/englisch/produkte/steck/steck.html

It's not for under water usage, but it is possible that a big amount
of water (waves) come in contact with the socket/plug.

Thanks,

Barton

They supply to the marine industry for electrical cables for watertight
fittings
Hope they can help

A Dean's connector, appropriately slathered in petroleum jelly, covered in
shrink tubing and maybe in a balloon or dipped in that rubber rope-whipping
stuff would be OK.

Speaking as a Skipper of a combat warship, we have never had any trouble with water shorting out any of the connections that we have in the boat.
The connection between the watertight box and the electric engines that are exposed in the hull of the boat are by a standard Futaba plug. The connection between the exposed gel cell battery and the water tight box is by Futaba plug. The connection between the bus bar and the various multi functions in the boat are by Dean Plugs.
The only time that magic smoke ( that smoke that comes out of an electrical device just before it dies) has been seen is when water enters the water tight box. And even then it is rare that it produces a problem.
What is it that you are trying to protect?
